" What an incredible experience we had at Zócalo! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent service. We started with guacamole and chips, which were fresh and packed with flavor. For our main course, I had the fish tacos, and they were cooked to perfection. I truly appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and the authentic flavors. The ambiance was lively yet comfortable, making it an ideal spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. We cannot wait to return next time we're in Sacramento! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zócalo is a wonderful spot for a casual gathering with friends. We went for brunch, and the chilaquiles were phenomenal. They were layered with delicious flavors that made for a fantastic start to the day. The service was delightful, and the waiter was always checking in on us. The only downside was the limited parking; we had to loop around a couple of times before finding a spot. Overall, I will be coming back for another brunch soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited Zócalo for dinner, and thankfully, we were seated outside! The patio was lovely. The food was delicious; I recommend the chicken tinga tacos. The service was solid; we never had to wait long for refills. However, there was a minor issue with one of our dishes being prepared incorrectly. The staff handled it well and were very apologetic. All in all, I’d say it’s a great place for family dining, and we’d happily return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a birthday party at Zócalo, and it was a blast! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large group. The drinks were flowing, and everyone loved the food. I personally had the mole enchiladas, which were incredible! I also enjoyed the fact that the place is spacious and bright. Tons of natural light flooded in through the large windows. The only downside was the parking situation, a bit tricky downtown. Regardless, definitely recommend for gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zócalo has an appealing ambiance with a festive atmosphere that suits a night out with friends! I loved their tres leches cake; it was one of the best desserts I've had! The tacos were decent but lacked a little punch in spices. While the service was friendly, it took a while to get our checks. Overall, I think it’s a nice place to gather, especially for special occasions and celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zócalo is a gem in Sacramento! The decor sets a lively yet intimate atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends. I ordered the mole enchiladas, which are simply the best. My friend tried the carne asada, and they rave about how tender it was. If you enjoy margaritas, don't miss out on their specialty drinks! Parking was somewhat tricky, but the food and service make it all worth it. A must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Zócalo was not what I expected. While the ambiance was amazing, the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. I had the shrimp tacos, and the shrimp was overcooked and dry. On a positive note, my friends enjoyed their meals. The service was friendly but a bit slow on a busy evening. I'd say it's worth a shot; just make sure to ask the servers for recommendations. " (*Curated Review*)
